<br />(2) In order to encourage the preservation of trees that are <br />already established and growing, an additional credit of one <br />hundred (100) square feet shall be given to healthy existing <br />trees of a species listed on the attached Exhibit A. <br /> <br />(3) These credits shall apply where the tree is in a planting <br />area or in an area with impervious cover having a coverage <br />factor of less than 60% according to Appendix B and whose <br />least dimension is one-half (1/2) the radius of the crown of <br />the tree measured from the trunk center. In no case shall <br />this least dimension be less than a radius of five (5) feet <br />measured from the center of the tree trunk to the near edge <br />of the landscape area. The ground surface within such <br />preserved planting areas shall be maintained in a porous or <br />vegetative cover. Credit allowed for trees shall be in <br />addition to the actual square footage of planting area within <br />which the tree is located. Impervious or pervious cover shall <br />not be considered a planting area, and shall not receive <br />credit unless landscaping is installed in such area. <br /> <br />(4) Should a tree die or be removed for which credit has been <br />obtained pursuant to the terms of this section, landscape <br />development sufficient to equal the area credited shall be <br />required. A smaller tree that will have a mature crown <br />similar to the tree removed may be substituted if the <br />planting area or pervious cover provided for the larger tree <br />in Paragraph D.3 of this section is retained. <br /> <br />10 <br />
